think it's been such a cycle. cant even find much free time, cos most of the free time is jus for me to relax and recharge myself for the nxt hrs of studyin or the nxt day. seriously, if u thud JC life was quite slack... u can think again, it's not even close
anyway, been away for wat?9 or 10 days again? haiz, sry pple.
lots have been happening... think i'll post abt the more significant stuff, but on a whole, this whole wk has been late nights man...
Thurs 300306
went to have lunch with Jean, Jeff, Chen and Changyi at Parkway BK, cos suchen (or izit jeannie?) had coupons. haha
took bus197 to TCT, was quite doubtful of this bus cos i scared it doesnt bring to Bukit Merah lor, ugh... reached ard 5plus and began studyin at Macs, clar joined me later on. thank God sia, or else i'd be bored and lonely to death man, haha ... l
had band prac at TCT for RL288 Leaders' Mtg which is tmr. practised with a diff set of pple, must say that they're quite pro lah. much more experience than DE band, it's great to be able to be a part cos i get to learn new stuff frm the other keyboardist (donno her name though, i'm such a failure). on a whole, it was a new "environment" to work with pple that i'm not very familiarise with.
the members are:
1) Daniel Kalai (lead vocalist and co-ordinator)
2) Lionel (backup vocalist and harmoniser, haha) ---> my cell leader
3) Clarissa (backup vocalist) ---> spiritual sister
4) Dylan (elec guit.) ---> brother in Christ
5) Yi Liang (acoustic)
6) Camy (bass, i personally think she's quite power for a girl)
7) Lin De (drummer, think he's gd but he's quite nervous)
8) Danny (saxphonist, nvr worked with one before. think he's quite cool man)
9) erm ... there's 2 other backup vocalist but i forget who they are, i'm sry ...
think the songs that we played, was a great challenge to me. esp Hosanna, cos the entire first verse and chorus is keyboard solo lor, stressed sia. haha but i think after hearing the song over 50times, it really helps and i'm been able to play quite well for it. right guys? haha
rehearsals only ended at 10plus... had to cab home cos it was super far, plus bus rides would take 1+ hrs...gosh
Fri 310306
PE was quite tiring cos the teacher (donno why) got pissed and punished us to do some stupid exercise and in the end, we had no choice but to play Captain's Ball, quite pissed cos i was hoping to do Vball. not really into Vball but it's way better than captain's ball lor, captain's ball is kinda pri sch dont u think?
oh wells, had Phy test after that. overally okay except for one question whereby the final answer is -113`C (if i rmb correctly) ? crazy answer, checked it many many times but still got the same thing. oh wells, think i'll pass.
it was followed by Chinese test. the new format really sucks man, it really demands alot of reading of the txbk passages lor. hoping that i'll pass though. bet it's damn sad for suchen and the rest cos they didnt get much time to study and read, cos of trainings.. btw suchen, ur comp starting this wk right? jiayou ok? do VJ proud and win hor, haha...
btw, i hate PW. it's been so mind-racking man, for the first time in mths... i had to focus and begin brainstorming, smth that i've not been doin for awhile, haha. but... i must like it, and i'm hoping to finish my PI by Mon (doubtful) or Tues ... think i'll ask help from Joce, Butt or Suang man, i seriously have no clue on how to tackle the topic lah, haiz
EM came back to VJ and popped into class during PW period, bet weehua oso abit shocked ... realised that she looks quite gd in long hair, so dont tie it up hor! haha... jus kiddin man
rushed home after PW period, had to prepare for RL288 Leaders' mtg tonight.

stupid rain
.

but it stopped when i left hse, praise the Lord man!
.
.

met Sheryl when i got dwn at Parkway, guess she jus finish tabletennis trg as well. and she started complainin abt the showers in VJ being used up cos many pple are bathin and preparing for Musicfest... haha, wished i could go but i've got a job to do!
RL started late i guess... was rather worried cos Hosanna was played a semitone lower and i didnt prac with that key, so i had to do last min. prac and tried to memorise the notes, haha. oh wells, think it turned out fine.
the entire worship session was awesome, could feel God's presence alot. esp for Worship songs cos it brings the mood lah. to me, i enjoy worship songs more than praise songs cos the words and lyrics mean alot alot, can really speak ur heart at times.
wanna affirm the band cos i think we were really really used to a great extent, could sense that it was more of Holy Spirit than us (i can confirm that, cos smth happened during the worship session but i managed to play w/o any thinking and w/o my eyes open) ...
above that, the mtg was super powerful. talked alot abt Discipleship and winning pple for Christ, think many of the leaders including myself, responded to God in one way or another. tears, laughter, slained, trembling are jus the few egs
personally, this mtg was really worth the time. think the Lord spoke to each and every one of us differently.
.
.
.
chiong-ed home cos it ended quite late (i dilly-dally cos i decided to slack abit) ... took 36 to airport. supposed to switch to 24 but in a hurry, i took 34. and ended up in Pasir Ris -_-"
it was 12 oredi so no choice, i cabbed home. haiz
Sunday 020406
woke up super early for SOL classes. first of all, needa apologise to Eunice cos she waited so long for me and the CHUA sisters (who reached at 830, yet they still had the cheek to say, "like u nvr late before". liddat win oredi lor)
oh ya, sarah's voice is erm ... different, frankly speakin i think this voice is much better, dont really like the high-pitch voice that she originally has. but, really hope u recover asap. take care sister!
.
.
.
alot of details regardin SOL classes and svc, so i wont elaborate.
but i needa say this, think the Lord really answered my prayer of "speak to me during svc and classes". for the entire day, everythin that was preached and taught felt so applicable and it jus touched my heart lor. alot of emotions and obviously, tears again. think i've been respondin to altar call for quite a long time liao, cant help it if God chooses to speak to me, cant help it if i respond to God either. but it was powerful and smth i really thud i needed.
had a mini-celebration for Dan's bday. sry dad for not gettin a present or a card..heehee
the day ends liddat lor... not lookin forward to the wk, it would be another tiring and boring wk whereby i go thrh the exact same cycle.
not lookin forward to JTS, cos i'm short of cash currently. haiz, but i'll be there lah.
btw... sisters and brothers, wanna visit Benita at her workplace (Yumi Yoghurt)? i'm plannin to visit her on Thurs ard 4plus. joce u joining me? lemme noe, think we shud surprise her or smth. haha
ciao liao, needa brainstorm for PI ...sickenin
